You're right, a loosely tied confederation of states should be the overarching goal with a focus on the tenets of the US Constitution and other founding principles in mind. Unfortunately MTG is being incendiary with this, purposefully, and it's a dangerous rhetoric. It reads like secession because it's advocating for it. A literal "divorce".

So, OK, MTG; you win. Yes, we all want smaller government. So while you and your colleagues are in office, can we get you guys to start dissolving all the unelected bureaucracies? Until then, get back to your committees.

No, it isn't!

Say you bifurcate Red/Blue only. Well, the reality is the USA is a much more complex beast than that. The original intentions of the loosely confederated states to form the Union was exactly that; that each state was essentially it's own "country", if you will. Either MTG thinks Americans are too fucking stupid to conceptualize some in-betweenness in their philosophical, religious, political, and economical view points, or she genuinely believes you can divide the country into red and blue and is flicking her bean at the prospect of a "civil war" type of scenario where American Citizens from one state would be "disinvited" from visiting other states with opposing ideological messages.

>All 50 states become 'laboratories' for freedom.

This is how it was always supposed to work. Except instead of Red/Blue, there's supposed to be 50 shades of grey in there as well.

The United States were already their own entities, with their own laws, and their own economies. Returning to that isn't a reversion based on "division", and the many shades of laws and variations of each aren't a buffet of evil, but a more accurate representation of human will. If you are unsatisfied with the concept of liberty and free will, perhaps a theocracy is more your pace? This sort of view point was exactly one that was warned against by Jefferson and others. And as far as having a still functional Federal government that exists for the protection of its citizens, then yes; that was the original intent and should remain as such.

It's not a coup if you think about it. It was a take down. They know the brand will be destroyed. that's the point. James had nothing to do with it, he was just the catalyst. I give PV a year before it's either dissolved, and attempts to "rebrand" a year from now.
